Looks like my 6th overall pick is coming down to Kamara vs. Barkley

But you are a high volume guy ? Explain that

Kamara is a violent runner despite his lighter frame. Felt like on several runs last year he could have had a concussion from absorbing contact rather than avoiding it.

kamara and its not close for me

Mark Ingram II - 5’9 215lbs
Alvin Kamara - 5’10 215lbs



Are you worried about the hits Ingram absorbs too?

A lot of people are picking Barkley there

I would take Kamara over Barkley

I would take Fournette over Barkely

You would absolutely not be crazy to pick Barkley. His volume will be huge and he will perform like a first rounder if healthy. Nevertheless, this is a toss up if we're being honest here. You can't go wrong with either Barkley or Kamara. I would probably pick Kamara though, but I guess it's just a preference.

I have the same pick in my 12 team league and have the same delimma. I plan to go Kamara unless something weird happens ahead of me, even then I think I still go Kamara. He’s the proven commodity, Ingram is out 4 weeks, and Barkley is on a poor team with an injury concern. I do like Barkley, but I feel Kamara is the better choice.

I did my first mock last night and took Kamara when given the same options. I had a much easier time picking up receivers I’m comfortable with than I did RBs behind Kamara. That sort of reaffirmed the Kamara choice to me because he’s the proven option in a good offense.

Let me start with I would pick kamara out of those two, but why is everyone so high on kamara? He had a fantastic year that he can’t duplicate and now every team has a years worth of film on him. I worry he will be a bust

Edit: by bust I mean for being a first rd pick, I think he will be productive for sure

Kamara is a safe pick because his floor is so high. He’s a lock for 80 catches. What he does with these touches prob won’t be exactly like last year but it’s better than most.

With Ingram out he’s in line for more carries which he was gonna get anyway. He should easily approach 300 touches & double digit TDs.
